Every decent host OS already has a dedicated driver stack to provide game controller input to applications in a useful manner. Why the heck would you ship a reimplementation of that in JS in a website?
- shadowgovt 1y agoSo that you can take input from countrollers that haven't been invented yet and won't fit the HID model.
- gmueckl 1y agoIf it hasn't been invented yet, you don't need driver software for it, do you? ;) Anyway, in your scenario the controller would be essentially a one off and you'd be better off writing a native app to interface with it for the one computer this experiment will run on.
- account42 1y agoIf it hasn't been invented yet we don't know the implications of giving a website access to it either. And that's before realizing it's already a bad idea with existing devices because they were never designed for giving untrusted actors direct access.
